Galaxy NGC 253 in Sculptor

This is a difficult object to image due to its limited visibility from this latitude (50 deg. North). NGC 253 is about 25 deg. South.

 

Canon EOS 40D, Celestron C8 telescope. 13 x 5, 6 x 4 & 15 x 2-minute exposures at ISO 1600, f6.3. Images registered and stacked with DeepSkyStacker software.

 

I posted an earlier version of this object last year, but have since added more light frames and re-processed.
